Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 66 - Chen Baicheng’s Divine Assist
66: Chapter 66: Chen Baicheng’s Divine Assist
66 -66: Chen Baicheng’s Divine Assist
This action almost enraged Chen Baicheng to death!
Even if he wasn’t the sharpest, he had figured out some of the ins and outs.
This little eunuch was trying to frame him!
However, at this moment, as his words were shouted out, the crowd below erupted like a bucket of oil poured onto a blazing fire!
Not only did this guy want to snatch the Emperor’s silver reward from him, but now he even wanted to deal with them!
They were being utterly disrespected!
Truthfully, if the Emperor’s silver reward hadn’t reached their hands and had been intercepted by Chen Baicheng along the way, it wouldn’t have been much of an issue.
After all, they had already become accustomed to being oppressed.
But now it was different—the silver was already in their hands, like meat that had been eaten, and he was expecting them to spit it out; this was crossing their bottom line.
Those who had tasted the meat were absolutely not going to spit it out.
No matter who this person was.
This is also the soft underbelly of the masses.
If you mess with the interests of the majority, even if you are the Emperor himself, you can be overthrown.
This embodies the saying that water can float a boat, but can also capsize it.
What do these Soldiers to be afraid of, being all alone with no backup?
They’re merely too fearful to take the lead.
Now that there was Wang Ergou stepping up, there was absolutely no problem for them to follow suit.
Moreover, there’s safety in numbers; even if Chen Baicheng was formidable, what could he possibly do?
Could he really deal with the entire Right Martial Guard all at once?
Not to mention these Soldiers, even those Deputy Generals who were originally loyal to him, were now all keeping their mouths shut.
While the Soldiers resented Chen Baicheng for withholding the silver rewards, they also hated Chen Baicheng for blocking their way forward!
Although they dared not speak up due to Chen Baicheng’s threats, staying silent was no problem.
Among these Deputy Generals, Fan Niu, who had already lost all hope, suddenly felt a wild leap in his heart.
As he witnessed the sudden turn of events, he found himself somewhat confused.
But when his gaze turned to Lin Yi, he saw the latter giving him a subtle smile.
That smile seemed to say, ‘How about that, didn’t expect this, huh?
Heh, this is all part of our strategy.’
It seemed to dawn on him, and he might have underestimated Your Majesty.
All in all, once he realized this, Fan Niu immediately perked up.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the Deputy Generals, he marched straight up to the stage.
Striding up to stand before Chen Baicheng.
Under the watchful eyes of all the Soldiers, he saluted with a clenched fist and spoke loudly and clearly:
“Please, Commander Chen, rest assured and report to the Imperial Guard!”
Although the statement was simple, its meaning was clear to everyone present at once.
Everyone was shocked to see Fan Niu, especially the Deputy Generals, who felt a great shock inside.
Fan Niu was going head-to-head against Chen Baicheng!
Chen Baicheng, who was currently glaring furiously at the Law Enforcement Team, suddenly saw Fan Niu before him and heard his words, his eyes bulged in rage, and almost furiously retorted:
“Fan Niu, are you also thinking of rebelling?”
However, as soon as Chen Baicheng uttered those words, Lin Yi’s face immediately darkened.
Before Chen Baicheng could continue speaking, and without waiting for Fan Niu to pick up the conversation, Lin Yi’s voice was already ringing in everyone’s ears:
“Commander Chen really has some nerve!
Does Commander Chen realize what rebellion means?
You, a mere Commander of the Imperial Guard, dare to even mention ‘rebellion.’ Could it be that Commander Chen already considers himself the Emperor?
Just for this one statement, Commander Chen, you could be executed along with your entire family!
Where is the Law Enforcement Team?
Seize this traitor for me at once!”
It could be said that, if there were anything Lin Yi wasn’t too clear about, it was certainly not his skill in spinning words and framing others.
In the entire You Country, there was indeed no match for him now!
Because of this careless remark by Chen Baicheng, he had directly ended up with the enormous accusation of plotting rebellion on his head.
Moreover, the justification was so unassailable.
If one were to delve deeper, with just this one sentence, indeed a lot of trouble could be stirred up.
Of course, if Chen Baicheng at this moment was still the same Chen Baicheng from a few days ago, then even if he had truly uttered this sentence, there wouldn’t be any consequences.
At most, he would be scolded by the Emperor.
But the current Chen Baicheng was not the same, at this point, he could be said to have lost the hearts of all the members of the Right Martial Guard.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the implications of Lin Yi’s statement were somewhat uncertain.
Following Lin Yi’s words, Fan Niu, who had been observing him, was the first to snap back to reality.
Without a second word, he immediately called upon his secretly accumulated Personal Soldiers and rushed forward.
This was truly beyond everyone’s expectations.
No one could have predicted such a turn of events.
Watching their immediate superior about to be taken down by Fan Niu and his men, their hearts started to waver.
Should they take action to help?
After all, Chen Baicheng was their leader.
If it weren’t for him taking away their chances of promotion, they would have charged forward without the slightest hesitation.
“Scum, who gave you the courage to arrest this General?
Do you not want to live?
And you lot of worthless curs, don’t you see this bastard Fan Niu about to attack your General?
Won’t you hurry forward to protect me!”
It was unclear if Chen Baicheng really was a fool, but at this time, he was still barking orders at his subordinates.
This chilled the hearts of those who had been inclined to save him, and coupled with his recent antics, the steps they had started to take instinctively stalled.
Seeing those approaching him growing closer, Chen Baicheng instantly became furious.
Pointing at them, he began to curse loudly:
“I’ll see who dares to lay a finger on this General!
If I don’t throw you into the Moat to feed the fish, then I’d be too kind!”
However, he could never have imagined that the dozen or so people rushing at him were Fan Niu’s trusted confidants, who were not the slightest bit afraid of him, Chen Baicheng.
Therefore, even in the face of Chen Baicheng’s threats, they remained utterly undaunted.
“Seize this dog who covertly plots treason for this General!”
While speaking, he courageously charged toward Chen Baicheng himself.
Speaking of Fan Niu, he was indeed quite the fierce warrior.
Even though he wouldn’t boast of taking on a hundred by himself, taking down ten was easily within his capabilities.
Compared to Chen Baicheng, the difference wasn’t too great…
